Post Office executive warned of wrongful conviction six years before innocent man cleared | ITV News

A senior Post Office executive was told by an independent investigator that an innocent sub-postmaster had been wrongly imprisoned without “any evidence”, six years before his conviction was finally quashed.
A secret recording obtained by ITV News has revealed Angela Van Den Bogerd, former Head of Partnerships at the Post Office, was told in January 2015 that the organisation had “materially misled” the courts in prosecuting Carl Page - a sub-postmaster from Staffordshire.
She was a key figure in the Post Office scandal and gave evidence to Parliament in February 2015 alongside then-Chief Executive Paula Vennells.

The inquiry is the inquiry. And it's not up to the inquiry to prosecute. That's up to the police and the CPS who are not running the inquiry. For now, it's not clear what the attitude of the police and the CPS. They may be very close to pressing charges. Or not. it's only been relatively recently that indications of criminal behaviour as opposed to a terrible cock up have emerged. Let's hope prosecutions will follow fairly soon.

[@bobdylan7120]

@@lairdinho What's the betting the CPS will say: "In light of the inquiry, and the associated news coverage, coupled with the TV drama covering the subject, it is felt the PO personnel will not be able to get a fair trial and it is therefore not in the public interest to pursue this matter further".

[@lairdinho]

@@bobdylan7120 Very low, I'd say. There will be prosecutors keen to make their name getting stuck into this. Contrary to the conspiracy theories about elite cover ups, the reality is that there's a cover up at the post office and then some government ministers desperately trying to distance themselves. If there's half decent evidence of criminal offences by post office executives, they'll be prosecuted. Now, I think they likely have acted criminally, but proving that in a legal context may not be straight forward, which is what people typically over look. Just because it feels like they did it, doesn't mean you can prove it.
